Hi! My Outlook won't work after an automatic Windows Update happened this
morning...I get a message saying "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.
Cannot open the Outlook window.". I'm using Windows Vista and Microsoft
Office Outlook 2007.

So, roll your PC back to the System Restore Point just prior to installing
that update and see what happens?

you need to add a space between outlook and /safe.

however, /safe won't fix it. To fix it you need to delete the xml file
that sets the navigation pane - so at start menu, run, type
outlook.exe /resetnavpane

I have tried the repair option on the install disks but it hasn't helped at
all. I'm also worried about loosing all of my contacts & calendar
information - is there a way of backing it up before anything happens to it?

Please HELP!!!!!

Thank you so much. Reset nav pane worked straight away and now my outlook is
back to working.
Thanks again!!!
